I can’t believe he just did that! Completely ditched me to talk with her! I felt humiliated. Why? Because I was starting to get strange looks from others.
I felt hurt. And kind of betrayed. I didn’t want him to go, I told him not to! And he went anyway! I look away from everyone else as more people were looking over at me.
I felt some tears streaming down, and I quickly wipe them away. “Are you okay there, my lady?” I hear a man speak, startling me. I look over at who it was, and it was a young gentleman. Maybe a couple of years older than me. I was quite skeptical. The last time we were distracted away from each other, it ended up being a set up. An attempt to split us up.
“I’m just fine, thank you.” I state as I look away from him. “Your expressions say otherwise. What’s a beautiful lady doing sitting all by herself with a broken heart for? Please don’t tell me that man you were with is your boyfriend?”
“Excuse me? Not that it’s any of your business, but he is! My fiancé, actually.” I spat. “I do apologize, my lady. I didn’t mean to upset you. But it’s rather odd that he just ups and leaves you here to talk to another woman. I hope you know her at least?”
“What’s it matter to you? What are you calling me “my lady” for, and why are you here talking to me?!”
“I’m generally concerned, I didn’t realize it was such a bad thing? Just a few moments ago you guys seemed all cute and happy, and the next moment I see you’re sitting all alone and hurt while he’s walking away with her. And you seem to be of nobility, it’s appropriate to be addressing you as so.”
“What makes you think I’m of nobility?!”
“You’re dressed beautifully as one.”
“I’m on a date-”
“This is some messed up date then. A man shouldn’t leave his woman with another, especially on a date!”
“Thanks for your concern, now can you just leave me alone?”
“Snippy.” He laughs. “But I get it. I just want to tell you, it’s a red flag for a man to do that. At least to me, it is. If a woman did that to me... I would leave without a second thought. You’re a beautiful lady. You don’t deserve that.”
“Did someone set you up to talk to me? Because the last time a man came up to me to “talk” to me, it was all a set up just to break us up. I’m not falling for that again!”
“Whoa, take it easy! I promise this isn’t a set up. At least not on my side, I can’t speak for her.” I again look away, hoping that Adrian would come out any second.
“What’s the special occasion for this date? Or is there even an occasion?”
“It would be our last date as boyfriend and girlfriend. We’re getting married soon.”
“How long have you been dating?”
“None of your business.”
“Okay, I was just wondering.”
“Just over a month.” I finally answer as he wasn’t going anywhere. “A month? That’s it?!? The hell are you getting married so soon for?!?..... Oh, I get it. Nobles, that’s right. It must be arranged, isn’t it?”
“Not at all. He’s not a noble. But he used to work for.... A relative of mine. I’ve known him my entire life. We just ended up... Falling in love last month. And I’m now pregnant, so we’re getting married.”
“How can you know you’re pregnant?”
“I’ve been really sick lately. Nausea, vomiting and nothing else but moodiness and tempers and all that fun stuff out of nowhere.”
“That would explain your temper right now. But you’re carrying his child? And he does this?? I’m sorry, my lady, but you deserve better. I mean he’s been in there for at least 5 minutes now.”
We both look towards the inside of the shop, and see him still talking with her. “They look like they’re having a swell time in there.” My heart was beginning to shatter even more.
“I’m sorry, it’s time for you to leave.” I say as I push my plate away. So much for the desert. I only took one bite out of it. I then stand myself up. “I am terribly sorry-”
“N-no, it’s okay... I-I got to go.” I say as I quickly grab my tea to leave. “Wait, may I ask for your number? I would like to show you not all men are the same!”
“No. I’m not going to be seeing anyone else.” I say and quickly leave. My heart hurt. I should have seen this coming. I mean she’s utterly gorgeous. I can’t compete with that!
I reach the river bank and sat myself down. Why wouldn’t he want to spend time with her? She was an old love. Everything started to click together. Damn... He’s said it’s been half a century since anyone last called him a grim reaper. And according to her locket, she died around that same time. So... He quit being a reaper because of her... I remember him saying someone taught him the meaning of laughter... That what would the world be like should laughter disappear... How could I have missed that? She never stopped smiling the whole time talking to us! It was her! It was always her!
I felt my heart shatter into oblivion. And the next thing I know, I felt nothing. Did I just... Break? I pull off my locket and look at it. They say if you truly love someone... Set them free. If she’s somehow back... I don’t blame him for wanting to be with her again. I do want him happy. Hell, she’d probably make him happier than I ever could.
“Amora! Thank goodness I found you!” I suddenly hear Adrian’s voice as he rushes over to me, and I stand myself up. “Sweetheart, I’m so sorry-” I cut him off by placing my ring and locket in his hand. “Amora-”
“Go be with her, Adrian.”
“What?! No-”
“I saw how happy you were with her. Hell, you spent 30 minutes with her! She’s an old love. I get it. She’s the reason you quit being a reaper.”
“Baby, please don’t do this-”
“She’ll be able to make you happier than I ever can. She’s gorgeous! I can’t compete with that.”
“Amora-” I place a kiss to his cheek. “Goodbye, Adrian. Go be happy.” I try smiling. I hand him his jacket and go to leave. “Amora, please don’t do this, please!? I was never with her for 30 minutes, but only 5 or 6 minutes, and I’m extremely sorry for that-”
“Adrian, I left after 5 minutes!”
“Then 6 minutes! The rest of that time I ran into Tori! She found me talking with her and punished me for that! I don’t even want to explain what I had just experienced, I am so terribly sorry! But I don’t want to be with her, Amora! I want to be with you!
I want you.” He pleads. “What I wrote for you is true. My love for you, is true. I’ve never loved anyone as much as I love you! For heaven’s sake, the last person I’ve ever loved... Was Cloudia! I thought she was the one for me.
But hell no, it’s you! You are the one meant for me! If that was Cloudia instead of Molly, I would still choose you! You’re carrying my baby! My first baby! You must believe me when I say that I do not want it to be anyone else but you. You are so special to me, Amora. You are irreplaceable. Nobody could ever be you, and I absolutely mean that. I love you.”
I was starting to cry by this point, and so was he. “Amora... I love you so much. As crazy as it may sound to you, you make me happy! You make me so unbelievably happy... I never thought it would be possible!” He steps over to me.
“You are my world, Amora. My heart. My soul. My everything. I live for your laugh. I live for your smile. I live for your voice.” He lightly brushes my lips, and I try looking away. But I couldn’t. “I live for your soft, sweet lips. Your touch. Your scent.
Every single thing about you, baby.” I fight against the urge. “No. No, just stop! I saw the way you were looking at her! You told me just how much I meant to you, when you didn’t listen to me! I asked you not to go, and you went ahead anyway!”
“Amora-”
“How would you feel, if some guy came up to me, wanted to talk to me privately? And you told me “no, don’t do it” but I did it anyway?!” He was silent.
“You proved to me, just how... Little you cared! Do you want to know something?! While you were in there, entertaining her, a random guy did come and talk to me!” He tenses up. “He talked to me, the entire time, despite me asking for him to leave multiple times!
What if something happened?! What if he took me and something bad happened to me?! You would have had no idea, because being with her was more important than being on a date with me!!! What we were supposed to be doing and having!! You could have easily lost me and our baby forever. I hope you’re happy with yourself. I hope she was worth it.”
“Baby, I am so, so, so sorry! Please believe me-”
“How can I?! I could be easily dead right now!! I just can’t believe you left me to talk to another female while we were on a date!! Do you have any idea how humiliated I was?! Everyone saw what happened! Everyone saw you leaving with her! Everyone was staring at me sitting all alone and hurt!! I was humiliated!!”
“I’m so sorry, Amora. I never meant to hurt you like this.”
“Just forget it, Adrian. It’s already been done. Thanks for the date. Have a good rest of your... Day.” I then turn around to leave. “Baby, please don’t do this!”
“Why not?! Why couldn’t we just do this peacefully?! I’m letting you go! Go be happy! I can’t do that for you!”
“Yes you can-”
“I could be the type of person to tell you to choose. Choose either me or her. But I won’t. Because she was there first. I’m just... A nobody!”
“Don't you say that!”
“I am! I’m cursed! My whole family has been cursed! Everyone has died at such a young age, and I shouldn’t even be here right now! We’re just going to lose this baby anyway! And it’s just going to be me, alone! We will only drift apart a few years down the road! Go be happy! I mean it! I’m not allowed to be happy. You can. I’m not going to be that monster.
I love you enough to set you free. I’m not good for you. Or anybody. This is... goodbye.” Quickly leaving, I turn around to head home, ignoring the rest of his calls.
What's going to happen now?!? 😭 Comment what you think!!! 🖤💜🖤💜
